Take in the magnificence of Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and other surrounding peaks throughout the journey.

11-Days Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek: Alternative Trekking Trails in Nepal
The 11-day luxury Everest Base Camp Trek provides trekkers with the best available comfort in the Himalayas. Despite the luxurious amenities and top-notch services, this trek might not be suitable for some travelers. In such a case, trekkers can take on the conventional Everest Base Camp trekking trail, and enjoy the beauty of the region. Both treks have a similar experience, but the conventional trek provides you with standard accommodation facilities, in a teahouse/lodge.
If you are aiming big, you can take on the challenges of mountain climbing. Go on the Mera Peak climbing expedition and test your skills. However, this expedition is strenuous and advisable only to seasoned trekkers.
Away from the Khumbu region, you will find alternative trekking routes in the Annapurna region. You will find a range of trekking options, from the shorter Poon Hill trek, or Mardi Himal trek lasting up to 5 days to a longer trek to Annapurna Base Camp, and the Annapurna Circuit.
Alternatively, if you are looking to mix in the adventures or make changes to your 11-day luxury Everest Base Camp Trekking itinerary, you can request a custom trek package. Get in touch with Orbit Alpine Adventures, and together we will create a tailor-made itinerary that best suits your requirements.
Best Time for Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek in 2025 and 2026
While most adventures to the Everest Base Camp are suitable during the spring and autumn seasons, there are still trekking opportunities in the monsoon/summer, and winter months, especially for the more experienced trekkers. Below is a breakdown of the best time for Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek in Nepal for 2025 and 2026.
Everest Base Camp Trekking in Spring (March to May)
Spring is the high trekking season in the Everest region. Trekkers from around the globe are attracted by the vibrant hues of rhododendron and wildflowers, and the clear blue sky with an amazing view of the surroundings. The temperature hovers around 10 degrees Celsius during the day, making it an ideal condition for hiking, and exploring the local settlements. Nights can be chilly, so be prepared to battle the chills of the Himalayas.
Everest Base Camp Trekking in Autumn (September to November)
Like the spring months, autumn is another ideal time for hiking in the Everest Region. This is the peak season for Everest Base Camp luxury trek as trekkers can take in the pristine environment after the monsoon showers. The temperatures are ideal for trekking during the daytime, averaging 15 degrees Celsius. Nights are cold, but yet the temperatures manage to stay just above freezing point in the lower regions. However, expect a drastic drop in temperatures in the higher altitudes.
Rainfall is minimal during this time of the year. Trekkers can enjoy the surroundings as the autumn foliage gradually takes over the lush vegetation. Since this is the peak trekking and climbing season, you will meet fellow trekkers and also encounter expedition groups looking to conquer the top of the world.
Everest Base Camp Trekking in Monsoon (June to August)
Everest Base Camp trekking in Monsoon comes with a lot of risks and uncertainties. The Everest region gets about 800 mm of rainfall per month, making the region prone to landslides, and slippery roads, and causing flight delays and cancellations.
While monsoon trekking comes with several risk factors and is not advisable to most trekkers, seasoned trekkers looking to take on the challenges can plan for the trip with caution. The journey that is filled with uncertainties during monsoon also comes with rewarding views of the vibrant floras up to Pangboche. However, as a result of global warming, you can find suitable conditions for trekking, and mountain sightseeing. Also, in recent years, trekkers have found a shift in weather patterns resulting in the delay in the start and end of monsoon. Unlike typical months, you may find monsoons beginning at the beginning of July and lasting until mid-September.
Everest Base Camp Trekking in Winter (December to February)
The winter shows its wrath in the Himalayan region, especially in the higher-altitude regions. During this time of the year, the daytime temperatures are chilly, and the temperatures drop below freezing point during the nighttime. Also, since the living conditions are pretty unbearable in winter months, most people migrate to a warmer zone. Therefore, most tea houses/lodges also remain closed during this season.
The conditions in the Everest region aren’t ideal for sightseeing either. As there is a prolonged overcast throughout the day, the views of mountains and surrounding landscapes are engulfed by dense clouds. Nonetheless, as global warming has affected the climatic conditions of the Himalayas, you can still expect the unexpected and enjoy your trek even in the winter months.
As global warming has its effects on the Himalayas, there has been a climatic shift resulting in a change in weather patterns. So, it would be wise to consult with an expert from Orbit Alpine Adventure before planning your trip to Everest Base Camp in winter.
